Hmm, thanks -- interesting page. I don't know if the Apple US Powerbook and PowerMac keyboards are really nonstandard or what, because the upper right key definitely says "Delete" not Backspace, and sends an NSDeleteCharacter heyboard event, NOT an NSBackspaceCharacter. It's clear that Backspace should be mapped to 'DEL' and KP-Del should be mapped to 'delete-char', but what to map Delete to is less clear. For example, terminal-mode emacs 21 that comes on my Macs maps my "Delete" (which SHOULD be backspace) to delete-char, which is wrong. I think the code needs to somehow ascertain whether a backspace key exists on the user's keyboard. I'll have to look more into this before the release.. _______________________________________________ Emacs-app-dev- mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emacs-app-dev-
